Obtaining Police Certificate
Available and reasonably reliable. Philippine-born immigrant visa applicants 16 years and over are required to furnish certificates issued by the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI). The green NBI certificate annotated for travel abroad is the correct certificate. Other colors are for local use only. Foreign-born applicants who have resided in the Philippines for six months or more may be issued NBI clearances upon application either in person or by mail. Applicants residing outside the Philippines should send requests for certificates together with money orders or bank drafts for the fees and postage to IRD-Mailed Clearance Section, National Bureau of Investigation, Taft Avenue, Metro Manila, Philippines. Philippine Embassies abroad can assist Filipinos in obtaining NBI police clearances. The NBI has its own fingerprint charts and personal data forms that it will send to the requesting applicant for execution. Most applicants abroad find it more expeditious to have a relative or friend in the Philippines assist them in obtaining their certificates from the NBI. In that instance, a letter of authorization is required. The applicant may also submit a copy ("personal copy") of a prior NBI clearance to facilitate the processing of a new clearance. Posts are advised that not all arrests and convictions occurring outside of Manila are reported to the NBI. NBI's criminal records database is not foolproof and the remarks provided on reports require explanation.

*Manila and major Philippine cities have computerized records.

Commission on
Filipinos Overseas

The Philippines government
REQUIRES
that all emigrating Filipino Fiancees and Spouses take a 2 hour class
to be counseled on their risks and rights. Successful completion of the
class gives
them a sticker for their passport. This MUST be shown at the airport
before leaving the country. Your Fiancee should schedule and attend
this class as soon
as she has her K-1 visa. See http://www.cfo.gov.ph/counseling.htm for details.

K. Green
Card/ Adjustment of Status

Once
your
Fiancee arrives in the USA,her
visa allows her only 90 days to stay. Well before the 90 days is up you
should marry, and apply for her Green Card. The process is called
Adjustment of Status. Just like applying for a Fiancee visa, you MUST
produce documents to
demonstrate you have a genuine marriage. It takes a while to get the
application ready, so you are best served to marry soon after her
arrival, and
submit your Adjustment of Status petition well before the 90 days is up

(
yours at no cost), and each month I'll send you an
information-packed issue with expert tips, advice and strategies to successfully navigate US Immigration
